Tracey closed the clinic yesterday so we had lunch together before I dropped her off at the clinic. We also went to Menards where we picked up a couple of nice folding chairs for the trip. Tracey says she doesnt want to have to sit on nasty, dirty picnic table benches at Yellowstone. I was surprised to even find one big enough for me.
Once again I should have mowed grass and didnt.
